File: index.php
Affects: LS simple guestbook (v1)
Date: 15th April 2007

Issue Description:
================================================== =========================
LS simple guestbook fails to sanitize user input that it writes to the
posts.txt file when the user leaves a message, this file is then included
causing any php code within it to be run.
================================================== =========================

Scope:
================================================== =========================
An attacker can inject arbitrary php code and potentially execute commands
on the system.
================================================== =========================

Recommendation:
================================================== =========================
Add the following line of code in index.php:

$message = strip_tags($message);

just above:

if ($message != "") {$file = fopen("$dataf","a");
================================================== =========================


Example:

name = Test
message = <?php phpinfo(); ?>
